City’s drinking water passes Kansas exam

The good news is: Toganoxie's well water passes the state's guidelines for drinking safety.

So does the water from Bonner Springs.

According to Tonganoxie's 1999 drinking water quality report, the nitrate levels in the city's water supply tested at 0.32 parts per million. State guidelines for maximum contamination level (MCL) say 10 parts per million would be too much.

Lloyd Wisdom, water plant operator, said other tests showed extremely low levels of barium, copper, fluoride, lead and selenium.
